Document with case by case calculation values

The monitoring of energy efficiency targets at local, regional or national level requires assessing the impacts of energy efficiency policies and measures in terms of energy savings and consequently their contribution to the energy efficiency target.

Possible impacts of such policies and measures can, on the one hand, be assessed top down. On the other hand, so called bottom-up methods can be used to assess the impact of single energy efficiency measures.

The aim of the "Document with case by case calculation values" is to provide guidance on assessing the impacts of energy efficiency measures bottom-up. It comprises a multitude of energy efficiency measures for which bottom-up savings calculation methods, i.e. specific calculation formulae and standardized calculation values per country have been developed.

Hence, this document comprises bottom-up calculation formulae and values for measures relating to the following areas:

Behavioural change and awareness raising

Building envelope and building components

Cooling of buildings

Circulating Pumps

Combined Heat and Power (CHP)

District heating

Energy audits of technical processes

Heat pumps

Heating system improvement

Industrial motors

Introduction of energy management systems

Lighting

Mobility

Office equipment

Photovoltaic plants

Replacement of boilers

Smart district heating grids

Solar thermal panels

Stand-by killer in households

Systems for heat recovery in buildings

White goods

The bottom-up calculation methods suggested in this document are to be considered as guiding principles, not claiming to be the universal method to calculate energy savings from single energy efficiency measures bottom-up.

MVP Tutorial Video

The multEE Monitoring and Verification Platform (MVP) allows authorities to consistently measure progress towards energy efficiency targets. This tutorial explains why the application was created, what its main functionalities are and what kind of information it provides to the authorities using it.
